The Colorado Crane Conservation Coalition, Inc. (CCCC) is dedicated to the conservation and protection of Sandhill Cranes in Colorado. CCCC was formed in May 2012 in response to a community discussion regarding the hunting of Greater Sandhill Cranes in Northwest Colorado. Birdwatchers, nature-lovers, and other interested citizens of Northwest Colorado were concerned that these migratory birds, designated as “endangered” by the State of Colorado in the 1970s and still listed by the state as a “species of concern,” would decline in numbers and disappear from the area.

Our mission is to keep the oceans wild to preserve fishing opportunities for the future. To do this, we bring conservation-minded fishermen and pro-fishing environmentalists together to promote a broad, ecosystems approach to fisheries management that reflects our expanding circle of concern for all marine life and the future of fishing. Our programs emphasize conserving the ocean’s top predators – the big billfish, swordfish, tunas and sharks that are the lions, tigers and wolves of the sea – while preserving healthy ocean food webs and critical habitats essential to the survival of all fish, marine mammals and seabirds.

Nearly three quarters of the earth is covered by ocean, and changes to the marine environment have a direct effect on the planet, the environment, and ultimately, our lives. Yet mankind continues to dump, pollute, overfish, and in a variety of other ways, contribute to the demise of the ocean and the lives of its inhabitants. The Center for Oceanic Awareness, Research, and Education seeks to enlighten people, young and old, to the plight of the oceans, to change the way they think and act, and to encourage them to create positive and lasting change.

By raising public awareness, advancing science-based solutions and mobilizing decision-makers around ocean conservation, we are leading voices for a healthy ocean. SeaWeb was founded to address the lack of public engagement on ocean issues, and works to reverse this trend by enabling key decision-makers to better understand the complexities of important marine environmental problems. In addition, our social marketing techniques enable the marine conservation community to effectively communicate sound solutions to these problems - another vital aspect of our unique approach to solving critical conservation questions.

Paso Pacifico aims to restore and protect the endangered dry tropical forest and coastal ecosystems of Mesoamerica's Pacific Slope. Our innovative approach protects biodiversity where people already live. By working with local communities, landowners, and partner organizations, we restore and protect the habitats that form building blocks for wildlife corridors. We began developing our first corridor in 2005 in Nicaragua’s Paso del Istmo Wildlife Corridor and began working in El Salvador in 2018. By strengthening the Paso del Istmo and other corridors across a region-wide network, we will reconnect people and wildlife across western Mesoamerica.

GLWR was founded in Michigan in May of 2005 by five ­­­individuals with a single common bond – a love of the Weimaraner dog. We understood the special needs of the breed and had a desire to help those dogs that found themselves lost, abandoned, neglected or mistreated and through no fault of their own were without a family and a loving home. GLWR was founded with the premise and intent of assisting Weimaraners in need of re-homing assistance.

Their mission is to protect and restore healthy environments.

Lewa Wildlife Conservancy is a U.S. registered nonprofit organization established to support Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in Kenya. Located at the foothills of Mt. Kenya, Lewa Wildlife Conservancy serves as a catalyst and model for community-based conservation, working closely with neighboring communities and partner NGOs to ensure a sustainable future for both people and Kenya's iconic wildlife. Lewa serves as a safe refuge for the critically endangered black rhino and the endangered Grevy’s zebra, as well as the elephant, lion, giraffe, wild dog and other threatened wildlife species in Kenya. Lewa envisions a future where people value, protect and benefit from wildlife. This future depends on communities being able to derive their day-to-day livelihoods in ways that are compatible with thriving wildlife habitat. As a result, Lewa invests heavily in the livelihoods of its neighbors through programs in education, healthcare, clean water access, microenterprise, youth empowerment, sustainable agriculture and more. Lewa has combined the techniques of world-class anti-poaching operations, including cutting edge monitoring technology, with the engagement of the surrounding communities as critical partners in conservation.
